are people rude or to easily offended ?

I've seen a lot of fighting ok mayb not fighting but arguments on this app! My question is do you think people are rude or that people just to easily offended I think it depends on the situation. Some I've seen people are just really nasty mean and rude. Others people seem to get offended over pretty much nothing like little jokes. I feel like if your going to post in hot topics be ready for the best and the worst and if people can't handle what others have to say maybe they shouldn't be in here.

I think it's both. There are a couple of people on here who think they know everything and are really rude. However, there are some people who are offended really easy. The biggest problem is people who drag old posts into new ones....leave it be people!!

I think a lot gets lost in translation when you're communicating via text. It's up to the reader to infer the tone, and if they're having a rough day, it's hard to blame them for being offended/hurt by something that might not have been meant that way.

I also think some people try to be rude, or are very gruff in general. I just take those people at face value and know what to generally expect from them. The ones who make a pattern of it, I mean.

I think, because of the anonymity of this board - people feel freer to express how they are really feeling, and do away with social conventions of being polite. Half the stuff that is said on these boards most people would let roll off their back if said to them in RL. Something about being unknown makes people both ruder - and more easily offended than they otherwise may be. I take anything with a grain of salt - but if I believe somebody is wrong...I say so.

I think it's both. I agree people allow themselves to be nastier than they would be in person and others are more open and vocal. I see a lot of personal stuff shared as well that I don't see fitting in regular conversation and a lot of "secret" type stuff. This is an outlet for some of us to get a conversation or two going about things we can't talk about to our friends and family. I'm a sahm and most of my friends work or the other sahm I know have sick, misbehaved, or annoying kids lol so I can't spend too much time with them. Plus, here you can get a hundred points of view on a topic but in RL I sometimes end up wanting to beat someone because of lack of perspective on the part of the other person and the conversation dies in frustration. I love it here. I think some women are definitely using this board as a way to let out their own aggression and jump on others without a good reason. Mainly just because they can. I think if you are going to put your situation here and open it for discussion, then you should take it as it comes. Not go off stomping and huffig and puffing about it. At the same time, I think some on here need to chill the **** out and not jump someone's ass just because they are anonymous and they can.

I must say I was offended by the racism post because I am in an interracial relationship, but I also think that those things would not have been said if it were a RL discussion. So whats the issue- am I too soft because it relates to me-or are so OPs too bold person they are not in person?

There are times when I see a stick shoved so far up a persons ass I just have to be rude to watch them flip out. I'm sure my tantrums have been entertaining for some. You just have to be able to laugh at yourself.
